Have a look at NAV http://metanav.ntnu.no/moin.cgi "Network Administration Visualized is an advanced software suite to monitor large computer networks. It automatically discovers network topology, monitors network load and outages, and can send alerts on network events by e-mail and SMS, allowing for flexible configuration of alert profiles." L2-traceroute is available in the development/svn-version All norwegian universities and most colleges are using it. NTNU is monitoring <1000 devices, we (univ. of Tromso) about 400. We have also made some more modules to NAV that will we available int he next release (freeradius accounting from VPN, 802.1x wired and wireless, cabel documentation). An integration with Stager (http://software.uninett.no/stager/) is also "around the corner". The NAV is in the port system, but it's not up to date. Dru Lagvine has build a new port during this christmas holliday, and I guess it will be public available this week. You could also get the latest release using svn. Today one of the maintainers announced this on the NAV users-list: "As I mentioned in a previous posting NTNU and UNINETT are currently planning the 2006 NAV activity. We are more ambitious this year and are prepared to put a lot of resources into maintaining and further developing NAV. We are currently working on a list of new features to implement. I could present the list, but at this stage I will rather ask the NAV community... what do you want?" You are all welcome to join the NAV community! regards, -- Borge Brunes, Computer Center, University of Tromso, Norway http://www.cc.uit.no/~borge/ | http://www.freebsd.org
